Safari of a lifetime from exceptional, trustworthy Africa McFlash
We selected Africa Mc Flash tours as we saw them advertised on the Guardian. We were looking for a long safari, for as little money as possible, with a trustworthy company we could rely on actually meeting us in Nairobi! We thoroughly recommend Africa MC Flash if these are attributes you're looking for.
Peter put us on an 8 day safari of Masai Mara, Nukuru and Naivasha lakes and Amboseli national park. We found this the perfect balance of safari types and locations and we didn't want it to end.
The accommodation provided for an EXCEPTIONALLY Reasonable price far surpassed our expectations, the Oldapoi camp, and safari lodges we stayed in through our trip were beautiful and luxurious.
Peter is a completely genuine, exceptionally helpful and reliable man, and we are extremely grateful to him and our guide Eddie for the lengths they went to to make our trip exceptional. We got engaged on the trip and Eddie helped me find the perfect opportunity to ask! Both guys made the trip very special.
Peter and our guide Eddie were such lovely chaps, we couldn't have asked to meet two nicer people and we hope we get to see them again one day!

For a first safari ever - we are glad to have chosen these people!
We went on a safari to Kenya in Oct 2018. I'd like to get a few things out of the way first - This was the first time we went on a safari, it was a last minute whim and we love wildlife (who doesn't!).
Tour Operator: Having zeroed in on a destination for a week-long break(literally a week before we left) we decided to look for a well-rated tour operator. We narrowed down a few and decided to give these guys a go. Peter and his team, from the get-go, have been extremely helpful. It was a private tour and we knew what places we wanted to visit and how many days we'd like at each place so when we asked Peter about tweaking the itinerary a bit to our liking he promptly sent us one. He was always available and also gave us a number to contact on out-of-hours (which is very much appreciated when you work shifts AND have to check what the local time is, each time you have a question). Peter was very patient and answered all queries. He delivered everything as promised.
The Guide: Anthony was our tour guide. He was just amazing. He was friendly without being intrusive and directed our schedule without being authoritative. His enthusiasm for actually showing us every animal as promised on the safari card was impressive. He accommodated every request without hesitation and never tired of all those arduous journeys. (To all the LADIES out there : He knew exactly where to stop for a loo break - 'clean toilets only'.)
The Safari itself : Africa is just breathtakingly beautiful. Every national park is a different setting (grassland, marsh, plains, hills) and you will see every thing you've ever wanted to, and then some more. All that Nat Geo footage will unfold in front of you and you might have to pinch yourself now and then.
For anyone considering going on a safari, few tips :
- Yes it is expensive - I am not exaggerating when I say its well worth the money! Maybe plan early to save on air tickets?
- A 6 day tour of Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli is EXHAUSTING. You wake up at 6 each morning and are on the road until sunset. EVERYDAY. If you want a more relaxed vacation, either look for air transfers between the national parks(some of those roads are horrendous!) or spread the tour out over a few more days.
- Africa is SAFE (food, security, health, mosquitoes) if you are careful. Its just common sense (cliche, but true to the word.)

Fantastic from first point of contact to the very end.
Peter was excellent from start to finish of the booking process and managing our tour. Even with a slight change due to our airline making changes, Peter made sure we got to do everything on our itinerary. We were picked up by John in a new land rover with everything we could need on board. John was very knowledgeable about Kenya, Kenyan history, local information and (most importantly) animal facts! Unlike a lot of other tours we saw going around the Maasai Mara John took his time with every animal we saw, he spoke about their habitat, how they hunt and their babies and mating rituals. He got us as close as he could to the animals and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. Due to John taking his time around our game drives we were able to comfortably see the big 5 and more! No rushing through!John made sure we had everything we needed and were great with our children aged 6 and 9. The accommodation for our stay was fantastic, a basic safari lodge for the first 2 nights with electric during certain times and camp fires at night and a luxury safari tent for the 3rd night which had unlimited electric and on site pool, bar and spa facilities. Both accomodations provided amazing food, private vathroom facilities and nothing was too much trouble.
I highly reccomend booking your tour with Peter, you are in good hands with him!

Dreams come true
After planning with my boyfriend for so long and trying to get the best deal choosing the perfect company, we found Peter. We are so glad that we had the chance to meet him because he really helped us to have an incredible Safari.
Our driver, Anthony, is just THE BEST DRIVER WE COULD HAVE: he knew everything and could find out one animal from so far !! We saw sooooo many animals and travelling with the jeep was just amazing. All we needed was Anthony and after coming back from Africa, we can definitely say that he made our trip to Kenya absolutely unforgettable. We just wanna say THANKS to you for this awesome experience and we look forward to come back to you soon !!

Amazing Safari to Ol Pejeta! Rhinos, Elephants, Giraffes, Chimps, everything!
From start to finish we had an amazing experience with Africa McFlash Tours. We communicated and planned our trip with Peter, who was super responsive throughout the booking process. Once we arrived in Nairobi, we were picked up by Peter to meet up with our guide Patrick. The drive up to Ol Pejeta was scenic and we saw zebra's and giraffe's along the way, while nice cold bottled water was offered to us.
Once we got to the Sweetwaters Serena camp, we were blown away. The watering hole in the middle of the camp for the animals to come and drink from did the trick. We saw a family of 8 elephants with 3 babies in tow come for a visit which was truly breathtaking. The high end tents at Sweetwaters were impressive, carpeted floors, tiled bathroom, large bed, we were impressed. The food was great as well, with a great variety of options available!
Lastly, our guide Patrick was simply incredible. He was super knowledgeable, had a great eye for spotting the animals and punctual in picking us up for our game drives. Overall, we would highly recommend booking your safari with Peter and Africa Flash McTours!

Cool name + amazing experience
We found Flash McTours through an older article on the guardian. The article named all the key words for us; "safe", "helpful" "knowledgable guide" + they had the coolest name of them all. And well, it was on the guardian so we figured it actually existed, which is scary since you pay (half) upfront from another country.
Anyway, Peter helped us tailor a safari trip that went from Nairobi (Patrick, the amazing guide, picked us up at our AirBnb in Karen) through the not very Swedish landscape, to Amboseli. We had one night and two game drives there. Then we continued to Tsavo West for one night and had one last night at the unbelievable "Voi" hotel. The food is overall the only bad part, but the views and the game drives way up for it, and ofc the food has nothing to do with Flash McTours but the hotels, which you can change if you pay more. All in all, we loved it all so hope this review made you book a trip with them, and ask for Patrick as your guide, he'll make it a good trip!

Reliable Tour Operator
We made a 3 days tour in Kenya and were more than happy with the organisation and staff of Africa Flash Mc Tours & Travel.
The pick-up from the hotel was on time and the private safari tour was operated as announced. Our driver was very professional and had a lot of knowledge of the wild life. Besides the price of the tour was very competitive.
Strongly recommended.

Great time in Masai Mara!
Everything was great! I didn't expect much, but this tour was fun, well organized, and stress free. All of the accommodtions were adequate or better. This wasn't a luxury safari, but accommodations sufficed.
